Brian Wood (born 1972) is a writer, illustrator, and graphic designer. He is known primarily as a comic book creator; Wood both writes, illustrates, and designs graphic novels and serialized monthly comic books. During his comics career, Wood held a day job for several years as a staff designer for Rockstar Games, designing for video game franchises such as ''Grand Theft Auto'', ''Midnight Club'', ''Max Payne'', ''Smuggler's Run'', and ''Manhunt''. He has created covers for Warren Ellis's ''Global Frequency'' and his own ''DMZ'', as well as many others. Wood's illustrations have appeared in short films for Nike.〔("Nike Develops Animated Shorts for Shox Neo Line" ) ''Advertising Age''. January 12, 2005.〕 Wood was born in Essex Junction, Vermont. He relocated to New York City and graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1997.〔("Brian Wood" ). Parsons School of Design. Retrieved June 19, 2014.〕 ==Career== Wood's first professional work in comics was the 5-issue miniseries ''Channel Zero'', published by Image Comics in 1997, created as part of a final project for graduation from Parsons. ''Channel Zero'' is set in a dystopian near-future New York City where the tenets of Mayor Giuliani have grown into a freedom-restricting government initiative called 'The Clean Act'. The protagonist is Jennie 2.5, a DIY media personality. ''Channel Zero'' was orphaned shortly after Image Comics sold out of the first print run of the collection, opting not to return to press. AiT/Planet Lar acquired it soon afterwards and has kept the graphic novel in print. Wood was absent from comics for several years, working at a series of Internet design jobs during the dot-com boom.〔Varmus, Chris (July 14, 2007). ("Sketched out" ). ''The Brooklyn Paper''.〕> In early 2000, Warren Ellis offered Wood a co-writing job on Marvel Comics' ''Generation X'', as part of Ellis's Counter-X run (in which Ellis served as "Plotmaster"). Wood co-wrote issues #63–70 with Ellis, and wrote #71–75 on his own. The series was canceled as part of incoming editor-in-chief Joe Quesada's attempts to simplify the X-Men franchise. Wood returned to creator-owned comics between 2001 and 2003, producing several graphic novels and miniseries, including ''Couscous Express'', ''The Couriers'', and ''Jennie One'' for AIT, ''Pounded'' for Oni Press, and ''Fight For Tomorrow'' for DC's imprint Vertigo. He was employed as AIT's art director for roughly six months, creating not only their current logo and branding, but covers for many of the books they published during this time. He also found time to work again with Warren Ellis, creating 14 covers for the Wildstorm series ''Global Frequency''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Wood (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
